Citotel le Regina Bordeaux Gare Saint-Jean

Not like the photos – felt unhygienic and poor quality I booked this hotel because it looked decent on the booking site, but the reality was very different. The room I got had only a tiny window, and it smelled like an old, damp house. The overall feel was just outdated and poorly maintained. What bothered me the most was how unhygienic it felt. The towel looked old and worn out, even though it smelled okay. There was hair on the blanket, and there wasn’t even a proper duvet—just a thin, old blanket with a single cover that didn’t even fully wrap around it. It honestly made me uncomfortable staying there. The one good thing was the staff—they were very friendly and helpful. And yes, the location is right next to the train station, but there are other hotels nearby for a similar price. In short, the room did not match the photos at all, and the cleanliness and quality were way below what I expected.

C’était bien
